Group moved in threatening to petition us because we weren't "holding the camp" and we're "unable to keep spawns down". We told them to fuck off and that we were only camping the one room and had been holding all of its spawns down for hours. They countered with C/E being all one camp, we couldn't hold down all of it so had to give it to them. GM told them we could camp whatever room we wanted and that any one room can be considered a camp.
I think it really comes down to play nice? Like don't ruin peoples fun - if you're there first camping one mob that's cool other team can do the loop and get some xp while they wait for you to leave (or a spot opens for your duo) or find something else to do.

The problem is you can't really make rules for not being a jerk since it's so subjective. It's sorta unwritten rules - like you're allowed to hold down a xp camp that is normally for a full group as a duo or PL, but it's passe to do so. It's the same deal with kiting a entire zone and being silly about someone wanting to grab a mob.

It's not all bad though, some of the nicest people I have met in any mmo are from EQ - most mmos don't have people who will take a hour out of their game time to help you do something. I'm sure we all have stories of a some nice person going out of their way to do a corpse run, hang around and help you get that last quest piece, not accept a donation, etc. Then we turn around and repay the favour when the opportunity presents itself.

Depends on your definition, which by the looks of things, is slightly skewed from more rational thought patterns (including those here in this subforumquest).

To clarify, we were ONLY camping hiero room. The one mob, farming cloaks. Not robbing anyone of an exp camp.

I thought we had already moved on from crypt / emp rule lawyering and were teaching teppler the art of forumquesting

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

I know a guy who was told to leave that "room camp" by a guide when a group moved in that was able to hold down everything, he was told that you can't camp just one room that is part of a camp you need to be able to hold all spawns in that camp else it's not your camp....sharing is really not promoted here

Hey Teppler you should check out this thread!

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=298674

Dude you can win 10k plat if you share your most epic p99 fight there. I would advise you share your epic battle to the death with the NG pather! (even if you lost you can still consider it an epic battle, no judging!)

I've been reviewing all the wonderful evidence laid forthwich on this forum and have concluded with my findings of what took place henceworth.

As we all know, the defendant was in Sebilis (Ol' Sebby) where he travelled down through disco bugs (I believe is what the kids are calling it)

Exibit A:

The suspect then waited at the crypt door (probably invis) until a rogue unlocked it. Naturally. You can't pick locks with Torpor. Once inside, the procsecuter made his way to the fabled "Goat King Wizard" [Red area - pictured], which drops the Elder Natural Fists. A very valuable item that you can sell at the auction house.

He thin proceeds to the yellow thing, where he is then overwhelmed. After all, this mob dro[ps a polish stone granmite tomahawk, its no slouch.

He then camps in the green area -pictured. He logs back in to say "Hi" to others and they all camp blue for Torpors and everyone had fun the end.

That side I can see.

You guys were there way before anyone else, you had established your "camp."

If a 4, 5, or 6 man CE group has been there for hours and have a 10+ minute time between Emp ToD and 1st golem popping and some dickhead like Teppler wiggles his way into Hiero room as you're coming back from killing emp and claims he was there and no one else was....well....that's just fucking trashy.

I think it's important for people to stay positive and hope for a better tomorrow.
